A Life Saving Solar Radio System In Your Backpack
Everything you need for safety and survival. Ready for when you need it most.
Powered by the Sun. Ready When the Grid Isn't.
The built-in solar panel keeps your Lifeline Radio charged without outlets, fresh batteries or a working power grid. Leave it on a windowsill, a dashboard or strapped to your backpack, and it quietly tops up the 10,000mAh battery throughout the day.
When the sun isn't out, you've still got three more ways to power up: hand crank, USB-C or the internal battery. So your AM/FM/NOAA weather alerts, flashlight and phone charger stay ready, whether you're riding out a storm at home or three days deep on the trail.
How It Works
Charge It Your Way
Set the radio in sunlight to solar charge, plug into USB-C for a quick top-off, or turn the hand crank when there's no power at all. Four charging methods mean you're never stranded without a way to power up.
Tune Into Emergency Alerts
Switch to AM, FM, or NOAA weather band and dial in real-time broadcasts. When cell towers go down and Wi-Fi is gone, this radio keeps you connected to evacuation orders, storm updates, and emergency instructions.
Keep Your Phone Alive
Plug your smartphone into the built-in 10,000mAh power bank and charge it up to 3 full times — no outlet needed. Stay reachable, keep your GPS working, and maintain your lifeline to family and first responders.
Light the Way & Signal for Help
Flip on the LED flashlight to navigate in the dark, use the reading lamp at camp, or activate the SOS alarm and strobe to signal rescuers. One device handles communication, power, and visibility — so you can focus on keeping your family safe.
One Compact Device. Everything You Need When the Power Fails.
Radio, power bank, flashlight and SOS alarm are built into one rugged unit that fits in your glove box, nightstand or bug-out bag. Tune in to AM, FM and NOAA weather alerts, light up the dark with the LED flashlight, and keep your phone charged with the 10,000mAh battery.
Solar panel on top, hand crank on the side, USB-C when you have it: there's always a way to power it up. Instead of juggling five different gadgets in an emergency, you reach for one.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Solar Hand Crank Radio work?
It's an all-in-one emergency device — radio, power bank, flashlight, and SOS alarm in a single compact unit. Charge it with the built-in solar panel, the hand crank, USB-C, or the internal battery. Once powered, tune into AM/FM/NOAA weather bands for real-time alerts, charge your phone, or light up the dark with the LED flashlight.
How do I charge the radio?
You have four options: set it in direct sunlight to solar charge, plug it into any USB-C cable for a faster charge, turn the hand crank when there's no power source available, or keep the internal battery topped off ahead of time. Multiple charging methods mean you always have a way to power up — even when the grid is completely down.
Can it really charge my phone?
Yes. The built-in 10,000mAh power bank can charge most smartphones up to 3 full times. Just plug your phone into the USB output port and it charges like any portable battery pack — no outlet required. Keep your phone alive for calls, GPS, and emergency contacts when it matters most.
What radio bands does it receive?
AM, FM, and all seven NOAA weather band channels. NOAA broadcasts provide real-time severe weather warnings, evacuation orders, and emergency instructions directly from the National Weather Service — no cell signal or internet needed.
What's the flashlight and SOS alarm for?
The built-in LED flashlight has multiple modes — standard, bright, and a reading lamp — so you can navigate in the dark or light up your shelter. The SOS mode activates a flashing strobe and audible alarm to signal rescuers or alert others to your location in an emergency.
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
With 10,000mAh of capacity, a full charge can power the radio and flashlight for extended periods — and still have enough left to charge your phone multiple times. Actual runtime depends on which features you're using, but the solar panel and hand crank let you top it off indefinitely without ever needing an outlet.
Is it portable enough for a bug-out bag?
Absolutely. It's lightweight and compact enough to fit in a bug-out bag, glove box, camping pack, or nightstand drawer. Keep one in your emergency kit at home and another in your vehicle — it takes up very little space for the amount of functionality it provides.
What's included in the box?
The Solar Hand Crank Radio with built-in flashlight, reading lamp, and SOS alarm, a USB-C charging cable, and an instruction manual are included in each order.
